| Abnormal Ground Condition
Hi Folks,
We’ve had a lot of rain recently and as a result many of the bunkers in my local club have deep groves or track like shapes cut into the sand. They are created as the water runs off the green etc. and in many cases these groves are down to soil level.
I ended up in one of these recently and my ball was actually lying on a bed of stones. I though this would come under the abnormal ground condition rule and I would have a free drop in the bunker but I was told that this only applied if there was water in the bunker and I would have to play the ball as it lies.
Is this correct? |
